About

Outer Space is one of two outtakes from The Getaway sessions, the other being Kaly. Both songs were removed from the album very late into development, and wouldn’t see the light of day until a leak six years later.

Outer Space Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I come to you, split this love in two
Overcome with fear but overdue
I set it free to let it move on

[Verse 2]
The crashing of your star, a fallen avatar
Goodbye wreckage now that we discard
Take it all so we can move on

[Verse 3]
And then I lost my grip, another sunken ship
Sinking into black and feeling sick
Now I know it's time to move on, on

[Chorus]
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
I don't want to go to outer space
I don't want to know anything so cold
I don't want to go to outer space again

[Verse 4]
Easy come they say, hard as fuck to stay
Disconnected from my future day
The past is killing me so move on

[Verse 5]
And if it don't make sense, verbal violence
Sitting in your ship and on the fence
I get it's wrong to let it move on, on

[Chorus]
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
I don't want to go to outer space
I don't want to know anything so cold
I don't want to go to outer space

[Outro]
I don't want to know when I lose control
I don't want to go to outer space again
